I've just bought a trailer and my tow car should be rocking up in the next month or so. I have an ifor505 and will be towing with a VW Tiguan 4WD which has a towing capacity of 2000kg. My gelding is about 500kg so towing around 1400kg in total.
I'm starting to get really panicky at the idea of towing on motorways and A roads. Even in my friends 7.5 tonne lorry we could feel the large lorries overtaking us on the motorway today. I'm starting to feel quite worried as to how my car and trailer would cope with that when it's so much smaller!
I am also painfully aware than I am not towing with a big 4x4 though I am keeping well under the cars towing capacity. Unfortunately it's my only option as its a company car.
I am driving myself mad reading horse and hound threads about trailers being sucked in by lorries and flipping over even when being driven slowly!!!!!!!
If anyone has any good advice and tips I would be very grateful I have passed my trailer test but still feeling worried by it all! I would consider myself a confident driver and I do about 35,000 a year for work so I am very used to motorway driving, just not with my precious boy in the back!
